figures, as already stated, are practically duplicates of the other figures, except that in this instance the hinge is applied to the lower part of the gate. Two telescoping parts, 1 and 2, are provided, as in the other type of hinge already described, the

part 2 fitting over the part 1. In this instance, a spindle 77 is provided, similar to the spindle, 7, but is secured to an eX- tension, 10 in the lower member 1. The member 1 has formed near its top an inclined cam member 9, similar to the cam member 9 of Fig. 2. Extending through this cam member is the spindle 7 already mentioned, and an extension, 11, formed on the member 2, this extension bemg similar to the extension 11 of Fig. 2,

and carrying a pin,.12, similar to the pin 12 of Fig. 2. As before pointed out in connection with the description of the other figures, the extension, 11, is really a shoulderformed on the extension E carried or formed in the upper member, in this instance, but in the other figures carried or formed in the lower member and there designated as the part 10. A boss 3 is formed on the cup, 1, to which a clamping member is to be pivotally secured, the

. clamping member to be fastened to the gate.

not only is the hinge applied quickly to the gate, but by reason of the pivotal arrangement I have, the lower hinge or the other hinge, may be quickly put in place at any point desired along the gate, the trouble of getting the hinges set just right relative to each other being entirely eliminated.

I appreciate the fact that others skilled in the art could make various changes in the details of construction and arrangement of parts herein shown, but this could be done without departing from'the spirit and scope of the invention- I therefore do not wish to be limited to the precise construction and I arrangements of parts herein shown.

What I claim is z- 1. In a hinge, the combination. of an upper stationary member having telescopic walls, a lower member adapted to be partly revolved and having walls telescopically engaging said stationary member, one member being formed with an inclined surface, and means formed integral with the lower member and slidably engaging'the inclined surface of the other member, to suspend the lower member from the upper stationary member, said means being within the telethe telescopic walls of saidmembers.

3. In a hinge, the combination of an upper stationary member having{ telescopic walls, a lower member adapted to be partly revolved, and having walls telescopically engaging said stationary member, one member being formed with an inclined surface, guiding means carried by the upper member for guiding the lower member, means formed integral with the one member to slidably engage the inclined surface of the other member, to suspend the lower member from the upper stationary member, said means being within the telescopic walls of said members.

4. In a hinge, the combination of one upper: stationary member and one lower member adapted to be partly revolved, one member being formed with an inclined surface, means formed integral with the other member and slidably engaging the inclined surface of the first named member to suspend one member to the other, an oil bath for lubricating the inclined surface of the one member and the carrying means of the other member, said oil, bath being confined in the lower member.

5. In a hinge the combination of cooperatingtelescopic members, one upper member being stationary and having two telescopic walls, the lower one being adapted to partly revolve and suspended from the upper member and arranged with walls to telescopically engage the upper member, and mechanism in said members to automatically control the lower partly revolving member.

6. In a hinge, the combination of cooperating telescopic members, one upper member being stationary and having two telescopic walls, the lower one being adapted to partly revolve and suspended from the upper member and arranged with walls to telescopically engage the upper member, mechanism in said members to automatically control the lower partly revolving member, the lower partly revolving member adapted to confine a lubricant for the mechanism inclosed in the telescopic members.

7. In a hinge constructed to be suspended from a structure and for suspending a load, cooperating members of which the upper Gopies of this patent may be obtainedfor member is suspended to a structure, the lower one suspended fromthe upper one and the load suspended to the same, a centering place for the lower member, and cooperating means in both of said members whereby said lower member is centered.

' 8. In a gravity hinge, the combination of cooperating telescopic members constructed so one member is suspended in a vertical position in a straight line under the, upper member, means to apply the upper member to a structure and means to apply a load 'to the lower member.

9. In a gravity hinge, the combination of cooperating telescoping members constructjed so one member is suspended 111 a vertlcal position in a straight line under the upper member, means to apply the upper member to a structure, and means to apply a load to the lower member, the Walls of the upper member inclosing the lower member.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of five, cents each, by addressing the Commissioner" of- Patents, Washington, D. G.
